BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Make sure the power cable is unplugged and the power switch is in the OFF position before
changing the batteries. Only replace with batteries that are the same size and rating as the
original (12V - 2.8 AH Sealed Lead Acid).
1. On the back of the XD Solo®, you will see a large black
plate. Remove the 4 screws around the edge of the plate.
2. Once you remove the plate, carefully pull the batteries out
far enough to reach the wires. Notice that wires are color
coded red for the Positive(+) terminal and black for the
Negative(-). Carefully pulling on the wire clip, detach the
wires from one battery and reattach to the same terminals
on the replacement battery. Repeat this step for the next
battery. This is easiest with needle nose pliers.
3. When sliding the batteries back into the compartment,
watch to make sure the wires do not pull away from the
battery’s terminals. If this occurs, gently push the connector
with a link pair of pliers to get a tighter fit.
4. Although the replacement batteries are charged, it’s still
suggested to charge the XD Solo for at least 12 hours
before use.
REMINDER
A good tip to prolong the life of your batteries is to leave the XD Solo plugged into AC power
when not in use. This will ensure you always have a fully charged unit and will prevent the
batteries from self-discharging. The XD Solo has an overcharge circuit so leaving the unit
plugged in will not hurt the batteries or the unit.
